How do you read and prioritize a home inspection report?

A Marshall inspection report can look overwhelming at first because thorough reports list everything, but the trick is to sort findings by severity and cost, not quantity. Focus first on safety and big-ticket items: heating that may fail in prairie winter, roof damage from hail and wind, structural movement, electrical hazards, and significant moisture intrusion. Next come things that will need attention within a few years, like an aging water heater or worn flashing, which help you budget. Last are minor maintenance and cosmetic notes that simply come with home ownership. Our reports use photos and clear language so you can tell a stair-step crack that is cosmetic from one that warrants an engineer, or normal wear from a real defect. We are happy to walk through priorities with you so the report becomes an action plan rather than a worry list.
